Abstract
An electronic circuit and method for designing an electronic circuit is provided that includes a first source element, a second source element, a first matching network, and a second matching network. The first matching network and the second matching network are designed by means of a method using the Poincaré distance, in which the second source element is designed to output a signal with a center frequency, in which the load has a load impedance, in which the second matching network has line-like series elements that carry the signal. The line-like series elements only have line impedances less than the load impedance or a sum of the electrical lengths of the line-like series elements, each of which has a line impedance greater than the load impedance, is less than one quarter of a wavelength associated with the signal.
